April 1967: the heavyweight boxing champion of the world, Muhammad Ali, defies the US Military by refusing to fight in Vietnam. Meanwhile in a shabby Bethnal Green flat, an elderly boxing trainer hears the news and recalls his own dilemmas of WW1, when Conscription in 1916 sent pacifists to prison or the firing squad; when he, at the peak of his boxing career and physical prowess, made a choice. Can Jimmy still be a contender and fight his demons from the past and meanwhile - has he the strength or even the patience to tame a wild young demon from the present? So far, all they know is that the play will be set in 1967 - and that the elderly protagonist would have been at the peak of his career and physical prowess around the time of World War 1.
